Making complete circuits
Highlights of the term
I’ve had a great term teaching Year 2. All of the children have made good progress since they started. It’s clear to see that they’re supported at home in their reading, spellings and times tables.
I could praise every child individually for their efforts but here are a few examples:
- Jorja (who only joined Moortown in September) has made excellent progress in her reading and writing
- Haider shows amazing learning behaviour every day
- Emre, Ebonnie, Indi and Kieron spoke clearly and confidently in our production
We have a new friend called Kostas joining us after the holidays. He visited us on Tuesday and his mum told us that he had been made to feel really welcome and is very excited about starting at Moortown. Well done to Ben, Luke, Emre and Owen who were seen greeting him and waving him off at the end of his day.
Lastly, thank you very much for all of our gifts this week!
More yoga
Yoga
We were lucky to be visited by Yogabugs who taught us some circus-themed yoga moves. I was very impressed by a lot of the children’s balancing skills!
- Stretching tall
Dance
We visited Allerton Grange to take part in a dance workshop. Take a look at some of the moves we learnt!
Goodbye Tanishqa
Today, we had to say goodbye to a well-loved member of our class. Tanishqa has been an asset to Moortown. She has a close group of friends who will miss her dearly. Best wishes to Tanishqa and her family in their fresh start in India.
Great effort!
I was so impressed when marking the children’s homework last week. There were many different creative ways in which they were presented. I loved hearing about how you celebrated Diwali or Eid. It was also lovely to see which books the children are reading at home.
Allerton Grange
Year 2 will also be visiting Allerton Grange next Tuesday for a dance session so our PE days next week will be Monday and Tuesday instead of Tuesday and Thursday.
Events
Monday 19 November: The children are going to Allerton Grange for a sport workshop. Please ensure PE kits are in school.

Information
It was lovely to meet you all properly at Parents’ Evening. Thank you for taking a strong interest in your child’s learning. Many parents were keen to help even more at home. I hope the reading, writing and maths document is helpful. Also, thank you for coming to see our assembly. I know the children loved showing you all what they have learned. The next Parents’ Evening will be held in the Spring term. In the meantime, do not hesitate to drop in if you have anything that you’d like to discuss.
